Background

This font was designed in the ‘twenties and the ‘thirties of XX century by a Polish graphic artist and a typographer Adam Półtawski. It was widely used by Polish printing houses as long as metal types were in use (until ca the ‘sixties). The electronic replica of Antykwa Półtawskiego was prepared by Bogusław Jackowski, Janusz M. Nowacki and Piotr Strzelczyk and released during the meeting of the Polish TeX Users Group in May 2000 as a preliminary version. The main source of Antykwa Półtawskiego were printouts of metal types. The current version of Antykwa Półtawskiego is meant for bold people, primarily for testing purposes.
